CIGAR-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 765,677, datd Ju y 26, 1904.

Application filed October 3, 1903. Serial No. 175,659. (No model.)

1'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MEYNELL HENRY PIGOU, a subject of the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Bignores, Dartford, in the county of Kent, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cigar-holders, the object being to combine therewith means for cutting ofl' the ends of J cigars prior to smoking.

In carrying my invention into effect I proceed in or in about the following manner, making reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a longitudinal section of the the shoulder c is provided a recess g in the side of the holder to receive the end of the cigar which is to be cut off, and, if necessary, the drawway of the tube may be diverted somewhat, as at h, to allow the recess 9 to be of sufiicient depth without opening into the drawway.

In use the cap or ferrule is unscrewed sufficiently to uncover the recess g. The cigar end is inserted into the recess and the cap screwed down till its cutting edge contacts with the shoulder 0, thus cutting oif by a sawing action the end of the cigar, which is kept within the recess g, from which it can be ejected when the next cigar is to be dealt with.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A cigar-holder having a screw-threaded end of reduced diameter so as to provide a circumferential shoulder: an open-ended cap to screw over the said reduced end and havinga MEYNELL HENRY PIGOU.
